Dreaming up new St Patricks Day drinks is part of the fun as you prepare for our favorite Irish holiday. Many people think about Irish beer, especially green
beer, as March 17 draws near. Delicious! ... but not very creative.
Here are several legitimate St Patricks Day drink ideas that are a bit more original. If they inspire you to know more about Irish food and drink, please visit our main Irish food section here...
Meanwhile, let's have a look at some tasty St Patricks Day drinks!
St. Patrick’s Day is associated with the lifting of Lenten restrictions. This means that drinking and all kinds of culinary temptations are now back in business.
Which opens the door to alcohol-based drinks. Here is the recipe for a traditional cocktail involving Irish whiskey!
Although the Brotherhood is anything but green, it is still traditionally Irish and very common for St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
I've said it before - in my humble opinion we all have an Irish side. So it just makes sense to introduce you to Everybody's Irish Cocktail.
This one is again based on Irish whiskey but the green crème de menthe gives it a color appropriate to the occasion.
Here is what you will need to make Everybody's Irish Cocktail:
If you want to go all patriotic and you enjoy shooters, you can certainly give the Irish Flag Shooter a try.
The shooter is layered. and as you have probably already guessed, the colors of the layers are the colors of the Irish flag.
You
will have to master your technique to make the different ingredients float on top of each other. This will take a bit of practice - but hey, it's pretty fun practice!
